Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost objects to a Biden administration proposed rule that would prohibit law enforcement and prosecutors from obtaining medical records of women who travel for out-of-state abortions.
with abortion bans from being prosecuted for traveling to states where the procedure is legal. The U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last summer, leaving abortion questions to each state and creating a patchwork across the country of states where abortion is and is not legal.
The issue is not about abortion investigations, but about sexual assault investigations, said Bethany McCorkle, a Yost spokeswoman. The Biden rule would block a section of law that allows law enforcement to get health information via court order, she said. If Biden’s proposal goes through, which wouldn’t happen at least until next year, there would be fewer arrests and successful prosecutions of sexual assault offenses, she said.But Jaime Miracle of Pro-Choice Ohio, one of the organizations backing Ohio’s abortion amendment, said that Yost and the other 18 state attorneys general will want to investigate people who access legal abortion care in other states if given that information.
